Every two months the Residents meet at Birchy Hill to say their opinion about activities, express their wishes, or comment on future events.
This month’s Residents’ meeting was very successful. There were proposals to build some football teams, to find someone who can play the accordion, or for regular Pub visits, just to mention a few.
We will look into the suggestions and might be able to use them for the next monthly programme.
All Gentlemen were invited to celebrate Fathers’ Day in Birchy Hill last Sunday.
They received a small gift and card in the morning and in the afternoon friends and families were invited to join in with our Gentlemen to enjoy a lovely Gentlemen’s Afternoon Tea.
We teamed up with a local Pre School, the ‘Little Flyers’, to enjoy reading, playing, and singing for young and old, wearing pyjamas for a snug afternoon.
All ages had so much fun, also helping each other eating cupcakes and some edible prizes the children won.
It was a very loud afternoon of laughter and fun, very much enjoyed by our Residents. The ‘little ones’ would love to repeat this meeting and we are all looking forward to our next party with the ’Little Flyers’.
A very big ‘Thank you’ goes to the children, parents and Laura’s team from the ‘Little Flyers’ Pre School in Sway.
To commemorate the 75th Anniversary of D-Day, Birchy Hill Residents and Staff celebrated with a remembrance tea party.
Singing war time songs like ‘Lily Marlene…’, ‘Don’t know where…’, and ‘Run Rabbit run…’and a little talk about the many fallen in the Normandy reminded everybody what these men gave for our freedom.
As every year all employees at Birchy Hill are trained to the highest standard of the MRA by Gary Gregg, Our Fire Safety Advisor and Training Specialist.
It was very interesting, and we all feel assured knowing what to do to prevent a fire or even what to do in the worst-case scenario.
The sessions were split into theoretical and practical exercises and everybody enjoyed trying out different fire extinguishers.
A written test at the end made sure, everybody understood and feels confident with the information we received.
After the training sessions Gary made sure Birchy Hill is fire safe by assessing and minimising the fire risk.
A big ‘Thank You’ to Gary Gregg!
